NEW YORK -- The law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom said it will spend more than $25 million over the next 10 years on its Skadden Fellowship Program, which encourages law students and law clerks to go into public-interest fields.

Skadden, the nation's third-largest firm with 1,150 lawyers, is the only major law firm to sponsor such a big initiative.
